All data subject to change without further notice.
Codex Compact Drive 1TB Update
All Codex Compact Drive 1TB must be updated to continue to function with ALEXA 35. If a drive that needs a firmware
update is inserted into the camera an update prompt will be displayed. After the drive has finished updating the
camera will remain in update mode so that multiple drives can be updated. To restore normal operation, reboot the
camera.
All data on the drive will be irreversibly erased.
Note: Updated Compact Drive 1TB and the new Compact Drive 2TB will be supported by ALEXA 35 and ALEXA Mini LF
with SUP 7.1.1.
Software Compatibility Notes
To properly process files recorded with ALEXA 35 cameras with ALEXA 35 SUP 1.0.3 or later installed, please update
the ARRI Reference Tool (ART) to the latest release version.
Please note, that macOS X version 10.14.4 or later is required to successfully transfer data from a Codex Compact
Drive with the Codex USB-C Compact Drive Reader, or the SXR Capture Drive Dock with the Compact Drive Adapter.
Using older versions of macOS will result in a copy error for files larger than 9.66 GB.
Please note that macOS X version 10.15 with the Apple MXF plug-in installed (part of “Pro Video Formats 2.1”) is
required to play back downloaded MXF/Apple ProRes footage in Apple QuickTime Player.
Please make sure to use the latest (beta) version of any 3
rd
party tool for your workflow. At the moment Blackmagic
Resolve Studio, Colorfront OSD, Filmlight Baselight/Daylight, Pomfort Silverstack and Hedge EditReady support ALEXA
35. Those tools are mostly still in beta and will be released in the coming months. Consider contacting the
manufacturers for current builds. Sample footage shot with the ALEXA 35 camera can be downloaded on the ALEXA 35
homepage
